USA Women Dominate Canada and Men's Tournament Starts ft. Brian Burke & Tessa Bonhomme

Today on The Sheet, Jeff Marek is joined by Brian Burke to break down a massive day at the 2026 Milan Winter Games as the men’s tournament officially gets underway. Burke shares his early impressions from opening day, which teams look poised to separate themselves, and which dark horses could make serious noise as the tournament unfolds. He highlights key players to watch, discusses the pressure facing hockey’s global powers, and gives his honest assessment of how the Canadian women were overwhelmed by the Americans in a statement performance that sent shockwaves through the tournament. Plus, the guys answer listener questions on roster construction, international ice, and what trends could define this Olympic cycle.

Later, Tess Bonhomme joins for an in-depth look at the women’s side of the bracket, including a full breakdown of the United States’ dominant win, what it means for the balance of power, and how the Power Pool format is shaping the road to gold. Tess dives into tactical adjustments, standout performers, and the continued growth of the women’s game on the global stage — from development pipelines to increased parity across nations.

All that and more on today’s episode of The Sheet.
